Vivo X Fold 5 Leak – Thinnest Foldable Yet with Giant 6,000mAh Battery & Flagship Specs, Know More

Vivo is all set to raise the bar again with its upcoming foldable smartphone—the Vivo X Fold 5. While foldable phones are still carving out their space in the mainstream market, Vivo is charging ahead with another sleek and powerful entry.

According to fresh leaks, the X Fold 5 could be the thinnest and most battery-packed foldable phone we’ve ever seen. Here’s everything you need to know.

Launch

Vivo is expected to launch the X Fold 5 in the second half of this year. While last year saw both a standard and Pro variant, it’s still unclear whether the brand will stick to that dual-model approach this time around. But one thing’s for sure—the name will skip the number 4 due to superstitions in many Asian cultures.

Display

One of the highlights of the Vivo X Fold 5 is its dual AMOLED display setup. It’s said to feature the same 6.53-inch outer and 8.03-inch inner displays as its predecessor, both boasting a 2K resolution and a buttery smooth 120Hz refresh rate. So, whether you’re watching videos or swiping through apps, expect vivid visuals and seamless performance.

Design

In the world of foldables, thin is in. The X Fold 5 is reportedly slimmer than the previous generation—measuring just 4.3mm when closed and 9.3mm when open. That’s a big leap from the X Fold 3’s 4.7mm and 10.2mm thicknesses. It’s not just about aesthetics; a thinner foldable feels more premium and is easier to carry around.

Performance

Powering this beast is the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the same chip that runs the X Fold 3 Pro. Compared to the Gen 2 used in the regular X Fold 3, this is a solid upgrade. The phone is expected to come with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Of course, we might see other storage variants when it officially drops.

Battery

Now here’s the real showstopper—the battery. The Vivo X Fold 5 is rumored to house a massive 6,000mAh battery. To put that into perspective, most foldables hover around 4,500mAh to 5,700mAh. If this leak holds true, this could easily make the X Fold 5 the longest-lasting foldable phone on the market.

Here’s a quick comparison:

Even though the wired charging drops slightly from 100W to 90W (compared to the Pro), it’s still faster than the standard variant and finally brings wireless charging to the table.

Cameras

The Vivo X Fold 5 isn’t just about looks and battery. It’s also expected to sport a powerful camera setup. You’ll get 32MP selfie cameras on both the inner and outer displays—perfect for video calls and selfies, no matter how you hold the phone.

On the back, expect a triple-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 50MP periscope lens for zoom shots. That’s a versatile combo fit for everything from landscape shots to close-ups.

Extras

Rounding things off, the foldable will retain premium features like a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, an alert slider for quick toggles, AI-driven functions, and an IP rating for water and dust resistance. It’s the small details that often make a big difference, and Vivo seems to be covering all bases here.

The Vivo X Fold 5 is expected to debut first in China, followed by global markets. With last year’s X Fold 3 Pro launching in India at Rs 1,59,999, you can expect a similar premium price tag this time around.

This next-gen foldable might just be the all-rounder everyone’s been waiting for—a big battery, sleek design, powerful internals, and no compromise on features. Vivo seems ready to give Samsung and other foldable contenders a real challenge this year.
